Soybeans are high in protein. Wellâ€"matured soybean seed grown in Ontario or Quebec averages from 35 to 40 per cent of protein, which is nearly four times as much as is contained on the average in seed of wheat, odts or barley grown in the same area and under the same conditions, says F. Dimmock, Division of Forage Plants, Centrai Experimental Farm, Ottawa. Twenty bushels of soybeans per acre will yield about 420 pounds ot‘ protein, so a few acres of this crop is a useful source of farm grown protein during the present protein shortage. Soybeans are being used with satisfaction by many farmers ic provide the protein in the grain ration of dairy cows, as it is both nutritious and highly digestiblc] While it is not quite as desirable a source of protein as soybean meal, many farmers are finding soybeans are a satisfactory protein supply.

These include such varieties as AK., Harman, Richland and Earlyana for the area of southwestâ€" ern Ontario, while Mandarin, Caâ€" pital, Goldsoy, Kabott and Pagoda may be used in the areas with shorter growing seasons. All are good varieties, and under suitable conditions will produce yields ranging from 20 bushels per acre for the earlier varieties to 30 bushâ€" els per acre for the later varieties. As they cover a wide range of maâ€" turity, the choice of variety for any particular district is very importâ€" ant.

WATERLOO MARKET PRICES Yule Means December To Prevent Colds, Roup in Poultry In treating turkeys, a four per‘ cent silver nitrate solution, or 15 per cent argyrol, placed in the caâ€" vity gives good results The pus is removed as described and 15 to 20 drops are placed in the cavity. A veterinary syringe similar to that used for treating horses for Enceâ€" phalomyelitis can also be used. Inâ€" sert the needle into the lower porâ€" tion of the cavity and draw back the plunger. This will remove the pus. The syringe should be reâ€" moved from the needle, leaving the needle in place. The syringe should then be washed out and Alled with 4 per cent silver nitrate, or 15 per cent argyrol. One cubic centimeter should then be injected into the sinus cavity. Treatment in the early stages is essential. This treatment may also be effective, with chickens. Birds which have developed the swelling on the face or which have had a serious attack, should be fattened and marketed as soon as recovered, as they may become carriers. until the bird begins to struggle. as this assures that the solution is drawn into the nasal passages. In cases where a swelling has develâ€" oped it should be opened after it has matured. The pus or cheesy matter should be squeezed out and the cavity packed with gauze saâ€" turated with iodine or mercurochâ€" rome. Birds showing advanced sympâ€" toms of the disease should be isoâ€" lated.

This can be mixed in the dry mash at the rate of one pint per 100 pounds of mash, or it can be fed in a warm wet mash at noon each day. Four to six tablespoons per 100 birds per day should give the required amount. If the oil is mixed with the mash, it should be rubbed in by hand until thoroughâ€" ly mixed and free from lumps. No easy or complete method for controlling moles has yet been found. Each year, especially in late spring and summer, the general deâ€" structiveness of these animals on farms, golf courses, and in gardens gives rise to many enquiries reâ€" garding control measures, says R. Glendenning, Officer in charge, Doâ€" minion Entomological Laboratory, Agassiz, B.C. Unfortunately spring or summer is about the worst time to effect control owing to the extensive wandering habits of moles at these seasons. Extensive migration takes place then, and the shallow surface runways made by the animals are frequently not used a second time. This makes trapping under these conditions unsatisfactory. Studies carried out at the Agassiz Labora« tory of the Division of Entomoloâ€" gy, Dominion Department of Agriâ€" culture, have shown that during autumn, winter and early spring the Scheffer mole, the common species in British Columbia, lives chiefly in grass land, each mole constructing a network of feeding runways and remaining within a circumscribed area. This habit facilitates the placement of traps. Poison baits, gasses explosives and patent mole exterminators were found to be effective at Agassiz. A circular entitled, "Mole Conâ€" trol in British Columbia", may be obtained from the Division of Enâ€" tomology, Department of Agriculâ€" ture, Ottawa, or from the Entomoâ€" logical Laboratory, Agassiz, B.C. This publication gives details on habits and control methods. It should be borne in mind by residents on the Prairies that no true moles occur there. The aniâ€" mals spoken of as "moles" are realâ€" ly pocket gophers, ground squirâ€" rels or prairie dogs. They are roâ€" dents, with very different strucâ€" tures and habits to true moles, which along with shrews belong to another group of animals with en tirely different food habits. Conseâ€" quently recommendations given in bulletins dealing with true moles are useless against the "prairie moles" or gophers Gassing and poison baits are amongst the best methods for controlling the latter.
